I'm not sure if this is the same version of Pocket Kingdom that we can play on the N-Gage, but it looks like some version of the title has launched in Hong Kong. I can't see it being reasonably possible to download and store the several MB that Pocket Kingdom requires onto a cellphone though, let alone whether they have enough processing power to run the title, so I'm thinking it must be stripped down in some fashion.

Here's the full press release:

Pocket Kingdom Java Game Available Through the Nokia SNAP Mobile Service

SAN FRANCISCO, California, March 9 - SmarTone, Hong Kong's leading mobile operator in multimedia services, and Nokia announced today the launch of the first massively multiplayer online role-playing java game on mobile, Pocket Kingdom. Pocket Kingdom, supported by the Nokia SNAP Mobile platform, enables customers to use their guile to conquer the world. Three new casual, broad-appeal games including Reversi, Lose Your Marbles and Blackjack will also be made available to SmarTone customers. Five others including Poker, Maze, Blocks, Penalty Kicks and Backgammon will be introduced shortly.

All of these online Java games created for the SNAP Mobile platform are supported by three handset models, the Nokia 7610 imaging phone, the Nokia 6630 3G smartphone and Sharp's GX32. More Nokia and non-Nokia models will be added to the list during the next six months.

"We are pleased to join with Nokia to introduce the online Java gaming community through the launch of Sega Mobile's award-winning Pocket Kingdom - a game pitching a player's strategem against others," said Douglas Li, Chief Executive Officer of SmarTone. "The new game, based on the SNAP Mobile solution, expands our games portfolio and provides customers with the best gaming experience by enabling real-time interaction and dynamic multiplaying within the SNAP Mobile community. We are pleased that the Nokia SNAP Mobile solution supports other manufacturers' handsets. This offers a freedom of choice for customers and brings fun and enjoyment to a large gaming community."

"SmarTone is the perfect partner for us as they have the commitment, expertise and track record in making things happen," said Lisa Waits, Head of SNAP Mobile at Nokia. "We are very happy to see SmarTone's iN's Java gaming community take shape and grow. SNAP Mobile provides the essential technological infrastructure and specialized support services upon which network operators and other service providers can build and expand their gaming communities, as well as providing game developers with the fundamental network tools to create mobile multiplayer games."

Sega Mobile, one of the earliest game developers to design games for the SNAP Mobile platform, specializes in rich mobile content. Hiroshi Okamoto, Mobile Chief Producer of Sega Mobile, commented, "SNAP Mobile enabled us to focus on great game development, not the technology. Pocket Kingdom, which consists of over 40 fantasy units and over 130 possible item combinations, allows hundreds of game fans to interact with each other at the same time. They do not have to chain themselves to a desktop computer to get in on the action and fight with a real enemy."

Pocket Kingdom and the other new online Java games will be available exclusively to SmarTone customers in Hong Kong for a limited period of time. Customers subscribing to this online Java community service can enjoy unlimited casual multiplayer game play playing Reversi, Lose Your Marbles, and Blackjack for HK$20 per month, with an additional one-time fee of HK$32 during the promotion to download Sega Mobile's Pocket Kingdom.
